You are almost certainly seeing a crash due to a critical bug in the Apple-supplied version of Tk 8.5 on OS X systems up through at least OS X 10.11.  See here for more information: https://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/#apple-8-5-9.

The solution is to use a Python that links with a more, up-to-date third-party version of Tcl and Tk, such as Pythons from python.org OS X installers and current versions of ActiveTcl from ActiveState:
